There was a tiny hole in the center of the doctor's forehead, and the inside of his skull was completely shattered. Even if Ding Meng had the Soul Summoning Mantra, the doctor could not be saved …
This situation was exactly the same as the doctor's death. There was no difference at all.
The worst thing was that Guan Lin, who was in his arms, was also affected. Her breath was weak, and it was only a matter of time before she died. From another perspective, no matter what Ding Meng chose, the ending of the past could not be truly changed.
Facing Gong Ping, who was pouncing on him, Ding Meng was about to counterattack, but his vision suddenly changed again, and he was back in the tunnel of the Holy Sanctum.
The Dragon King's will reappeared in front of him, "Do you understand now?"
Ding Meng nodded, "I understand now. The power to truly control the universe, that is the thing that can change the past."
The Dragon King also nodded, "The Holy Sanctum has read your life, and this is all a test of your will through the timeline. If you continue to move forward, fate will make you meet a strong enemy sooner or later. The only thing I can help you with is to bring you to the end of this tunnel."
He waved his hand, and the tunnel transformed in the blink of an eye. This time, it was not a time travel, but a physical transformation.
Ding Meng finally saw Ji Chenxue and Ling Xingqi. The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed. Around them was an endless square of divine light, and all the crystal pillars shone with a sacred white light. The two of them seemed to be meditating.
It was not until Ding Meng teleported in that the two of them opened their eyes. From their telepathic thoughts and expressions, it seemed that they had returned to the shackles and regrets in their lives.
The Dragon King said solemnly, "I want to remind the three of you of something."
Ling Xingqi said respectfully, "Senior, please speak!"
The Dragon King said, "No matter who the power of the Divine Temple ends up in, whether it's you or Ming Yan, in the following encounter, once you fall, the Divine Temple will no longer retain your memories, because this is the interior of the Divine Temple."
The three of them immediately sank into silence. They were all experts who had experienced too many things. The most unforgettable thing in life was their memories. If they lost their memories, their lives would be a blank. Even death would not be this terrifying.
Ding Meng nodded. "I understand!"
The Dragon King waved his hand. "This is the last of my strength. How far you can go in the future will depend on yourselves. Take care, the three chosen ones."
After saying that, his paper-like figure instantly disappeared into the ground of the square. However, the crystal on the ground suddenly seemed to be activated. In the center of the circle formed by the three of them, a crystal that looked like a gold brick slowly appeared, emitting a strong light that made it hard for people to open their eyes.
The three of them immediately sat down cross-legged and felt this great power.
This was a type of crystal that surpassed the True Elemental Rainbow Crystal. The energy it contained was turbulent and was practically endless.
Ding Meng sighed. He knew what this was. This was the legendary True Elemental Divine Crystal. He had already seen it in the telepathic message just now. The Big Bang at the beginning of the universe was released by the collapse of countless True Elemental Divine Crystals.
This small piece of Divine Crystal was also a gift from the guardians of the Divine Temple. The Dragon King could not bear to use it himself, so he left it for the future chosen ones.
Ding Meng and the other two formed a circle, holding each other's hands tightly. They vaguely formed a three-in-one cultivation force field.
However, at this moment, Ling Xingqi let out a long sigh.
Ji Chenxue frowned in confusion. "What's wrong?
Xingqi! "
Ling Xingqi sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm not fated to enjoy such an expensive piece of Divine Crystal."
Ding Meng could not help but ask, "Why do you say that?"
Ling Xingqi sighed and said, "Do you think I don't know what I'm capable of?
Do you think I don't know what my talent is like after more than sixty years?
Even if I wanted to absorb and contain this ball of energy, I'm afraid it would take me millions of years, right? "
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue both remained silent. They knew that Ling Xingqi was speaking the truth. If millions of years passed, how much would Ming Yan and the others become?
And what would the Divine Temple become?
It was simply unimaginable. They could not afford to wait, and it was too late.
Ling Xingqi closed her eyes and sighed. "It's only today that I understand the two most important things in life. One is memory, and the other is time. These are the things that cannot be replaced, and these are the things that are worth cherishing the most."
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue listened quietly.
With a thought from Ling Xingqi, the long and wide Divine Light Blade immediately hovered between the three of them. "Ding Meng, I have two things to ask of you."
Ding Meng already had a bad feeling, but he still asked patiently, "Please speak!"
Ling Xingqi said, "First, please accept this weapon. No matter what, you have to avenge my little sister. Please."
Ding Meng remained silent, but he still used his telekinesis. The Divine Light Blade slowly floated towards him. Then, a large amount of information flooded into his mind. This was the inheritance of the blade.
Ling Xingqi sighed slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. "Ding Meng, if you are able to go back in the future, please tell Xin Jie that I went to outer space to cultivate. Ask him to wait for me to come back. Then, we will hold a grand wedding. I know his temper. He will definitely wait for me …"
Ding Meng was about to speak when he felt a whirlpool in his palm. He looked down and saw that Ling Xingqi had activated the Diamond Starfusing Art. The surging Divine Light Essence was moving in the opposite direction. She clearly wanted to transfer all her energy to him.
"You are crazy!" Ding Meng exclaimed. "You will die if you do this."
Ling Xingqi immediately interrupted him and smiled gently. "The Divine Light martial artists worship holiness and beauty. I also know that you, Ding Meng, do not have the habit of giving up on your companions. However, in times of crisis, you can only make sacrifices to achieve the greater good. Ding Meng, only you can defeat such a terrifying group of enemies. If you can really win, then my sacrifice is nothing.
Don't you think so?
Ding Meng … "
Ding Meng did not answer because he could feel Ling Xingqi's determination and willpower. At this moment, a huge amount of Essence was being poured into his body. A large amount of Martial Arts and Secret Techniques were being transmitted to him. Even those precious memories and Princess Mou Xing's inheritance were all pouring into his brain.
Ling Xingqi's body gradually turned into a human shaped light. Then, the human shaped light slowly disappeared and dimmed. Ling Xingqi had completely merged with Ding Meng.
This forced fusion method was the same as what Julie and the Fifth Lord had done before. From the perspective of energy, the increase was not huge. However, the ability to absorb and cultivate had increased exponentially. It could be said that this was the combination of the strengths of several great families. It could also be said that this was the greatest sacrifice for the final victory.
Feeling Ling Xingqi's aura dissipating bit by bit, Ding Meng's eyes turned red. He clenched his teeth and said, "Ling Xingqi, you are the martial artist that I, Ding Meng, have admired for my entire life. You are a true martial artist …"
Ji Chenxue's eyes also overflowed with sparkling tears. "Xingqi, we are both Mou Xing's inheritors and Divine Light's martial artists. The time spent with you is really too short. I really hope that there will be an afterlife. We will definitely meet again in our next life …"
She also secretly pressed down on Ding Meng's palm. She slowly activated the Diamond Starfusing Art and transmitted all of her energy to Ding Meng.
"Chenxue, you are …" Ding Meng exclaimed again.
Ji Chenxue's tears also kept falling. However, at this moment, she revealed the purest and most beautiful smile. "Ding Meng, all of my hopes are placed on you. As your partner, I know that I am weak. However, I still hope that I can do whatever I can to help you. Please don't reject me …"
Her energy, techniques, martial arts, life, and memories were all transmitted into Ding Meng's body. The three of them were all martial artists of Divine Light. Therefore, the fusion process was very fast.
Soon, Ji Chenxue's beautiful figure also turned into a human-shaped light. However, her voice was still there. Her tone was very emotional. "Ding Meng, you know that I am from the Norse Empire. I have always been against polygamy. Although I have not become your legal wife in name, in my heart, I have long treated you as my only husband. I will leave everything to you …"
Her voice became softer and softer. Her aura also became weaker and weaker. Finally, she dissipated in the illusion of the Holy Palace and became one with Ding Meng.
Ding Meng sat in a daze. He could not speak because the last bit of information that Ji Chenxue transmitted to him was actually the private photos that she had always treasured and sealed in the Divine Light necklace. Every frown, every smile, every glance was deeply imprinted in Ding Meng's mind in the form of a portrait. This meant to remind Ding Meng not to forget her.
Some feelings did not require vows of eternal love. There was no need to say those three words. "Don't forget me" was already the most precious love promise.
At this moment, only Ding Meng was left sitting there alone in the Divine Light Square. They had said that they would leave together, but in the end, he was still the only one left. If there was anything that accompanied him, it would be the Divine Light Saber that stood proudly in front of him and the Divine Light Necklace that floated in the air. The dazzling golden light and exquisite design represented the hope and deep feelings that the two masters had for Ding Meng.
However, this time, Ding Meng did not feel sad, nor did he feel dejected. This was because he knew that he was no longer Ding Meng. He was the embodiment of this group of people. He was everyone's hopes and dreams, as well as everyone's will and determination.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Divine Light Necklace immediately hung around his neck. The saber also hung horizontally in front of his chest. At this moment, he did not care about the torrential energy of the True Yuan Godly Crystal. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden light of the Divine Light Crystal stabbed into his eyes like a blade. The Lonely Entropy Armor immediately turned golden, and he turned into a streak of golden light. The only thing that did not change was the Sovereign King's Imprint on his forehead.
However, at the same time that it received the baptism of the True Yuan Godly Crystal, the golden imprint actually flapped its wings vividly, as if it was a sign that it had broken out of its cocoon and become a butterfly that had been reborn.
